EditorExportPlugins are automatically invoked whenever the user exports the project. Their most common use is to determine what files are being included in the exported project. For each plugin, _export_begin is called at the beginning of the export process and then _export_file is called for each exported file.
To use EditorExportPlugin, register it using the EditorPlugin.add_export_plugin method first.
Return true
if this plugin will customize resources based on the platform and features used.
When enabled, _get_customization_configuration_hash, _customize_resource and _customize_scene will be called and must be implemented.
Return true if this plugin will customize scenes based on the platform and features used.
Customize a resource. If changes are made to it, return the same or a new resource. Otherwise, return null
.
The path argument is only used when customizing an actual file, otherwise this means that this resource is part of another one and it will be empty.
Implementing this method is required if _begin_customize_resources returns true
.
Customize a scene. If changes are made to it, return the same or a new scene. Otherwise, return null
. If a new scene is returned, it is up to you to dispose of the old one.
Implementing this method is required if _begin_customize_scenes returns true
.
This is called when the customization process for resources ends.
This is called when the customization process for scenes ends.
Virtual method to be overridden by the user. It is called when the export starts and provides all information about the export. features
is the list of features for the export, is_debug
is true
for debug builds, path
is the target path for the exported project. flags
is only used when running a runnable profile, e.g. when using native run on Android.
Virtual method to be overridden by the user. Called when the export is finished.
Virtual method to be overridden by the user. Called for each exported file, providing arguments that can be used to identify the file. path
is the path of the file, type
is the Resource represented by the file (e.g. PackedScene) and features
is the list of features for the export.
Calling skip inside this callback will make the file not included in the export.
Virtual method to be overridden by the user. This is called to retrieve the set of Android dependencies provided by this plugin. Each returned Android dependency should have the format of an Android remote binary dependency: org.godot.example:my-plugin:0.0.0
For more information see Android documentation on dependencies.
Note: Only supported on Android and requires EditorExportPlatformAndroid.gradle_build/use_gradle_build to be enabled.
Virtual method to be overridden by the user. This is called to retrieve the URLs of Maven repositories for the set of Android dependencies provided by this plugin.
For more information see Gradle documentation on dependency management.
Note: Google's Maven repo and the Maven Central repo are already included by default.
Note: Only supported on Android and requires EditorExportPlatformAndroid.gradle_build/use_gradle_build to be enabled.
Virtual method to be overridden by the user. This is called to retrieve the local paths of the Android libraries archive (AAR) files provided by this plugin.
Note: Relative paths must be relative to Godot's res://addons/
directory. For example, an AAR file located under res://addons/hello_world_plugin/HelloWorld.release.aar
can be returned as an absolute path using res://addons/hello_world_plugin/HelloWorld.release.aar
or a relative path using hello_world_plugin/HelloWorld.release.aar
.
Note: Only supported on Android and requires EditorExportPlatformAndroid.gradle_build/use_gradle_build to be enabled.
Virtual method to be overridden by the user. This is used at export time to update the contents of the activity
element in the generated Android manifest.
Note: Only supported on Android and requires EditorExportPlatformAndroid.gradle_build/use_gradle_build to be enabled.
Virtual method to be overridden by the user. This is used at export time to update the contents of the application
element in the generated Android manifest.
Note: Only supported on Android and requires EditorExportPlatformAndroid.gradle_build/use_gradle_build to be enabled.
Virtual method to be overridden by the user. This is used at export time to update the contents of the manifest
element in the generated Android manifest.
Note: Only supported on Android and requires EditorExportPlatformAndroid.gradle_build/use_gradle_build to be enabled.
Return a hash based on the configuration passed (for both scenes and resources). This helps keep separate caches for separate export configurations.
Implementing this method is required if _begin_customize_resources returns true
.
Return a PackedStringArray of additional features this preset, for the given platform
, should have.
Check the requirements for the given option
and return a non-empty warning string if they are not met.
Note: Use get_option to check the value of the export options.
Return a list of export options that can be configured for this export plugin.
Each element in the return value is a Dictionary with the following keys:
option
: A dictionary with the structure documented by Object.get_property_list, but all keys are optional.
default_value
: The default value for this option.
update_visibility
: An optional boolean value. If set to true
, the preset will emit Object.property_list_changed when the option is changed.
Return the name identifier of this plugin (for future identification by the exporter). The plugins are sorted by name before exporting.
Implementing this method is required.
Return true
, if the result of _get_export_options has changed and the export options of preset corresponding to platform
should be updated.
Return true
if the plugin supports the given platform
.
Adds a custom file to be exported. path
is the virtual path that can be used to load the file, file
is the binary data of the file.
When called inside _export_file and remap
is true
, the current file will not be exported, but instead remapped to this custom file. remap
is ignored when called in other places.
Adds an iOS bundle file from the given path
to the exported project.
Adds a C++ code to the iOS export. The final code is created from the code appended by each active export plugin.
Adds a dynamic library (*.dylib, *.framework) to Linking Phase in iOS's Xcode project and embeds it into resulting binary.
Note: For static libraries (*.a) works in same way as add_ios_framework.
Note: This method should not be used for System libraries as they are already present on the device.
Adds a static library (*.a) or dynamic library (*.dylib, *.framework) to Linking Phase in iOS's Xcode project.
Adds linker flags for the iOS export.
Adds content for iOS Property List files.
Adds a static lib from the given path
to the iOS project.
Adds file or directory matching path
to PlugIns
directory of macOS app bundle.
Note: This is useful only for macOS exports.
Adds a shared object or a directory containing only shared objects with the given tags
and destination path
.
Note: In case of macOS exports, those shared objects will be added to Frameworks
directory of app bundle.
In case of a directory code-sign will error if you place non code object in directory.
Returns the current value of an export option supplied by _get_export_options.
To be called inside _export_file. Skips the current file, so it's not included in the export.
